1. Ah!
Copy !req
2. Hi-yah!
Copy !req
3. Wow. It really is amazing
to watch Mom multitasking.
Copy !req
4. Yeah, I struggle
with just tasking.
Copy !req
5. Richard, could you
help me out here
Copy !req
6. and roast that chicken?
Copy !req
7. Uh, seems a bit harsh.
Copy !req
8. The guy's already dead,
but okay.
Copy !req
9. Does something smell foul?
Copy !req
10. He wouldn't know.
He's lost his head.
Copy !req
11. Okay.
Copy !req
12. I knew that joke wouldn't fly.
Copy !req
13. How am I doing?
Copy !req
14. Hey, is this thing on?
Can you see me?
Copy !req
15. Hey, Granny Jojo.
Copy !req
16. We're excited you're coming
to dinner tonight.
Copy !req
17. Mrs. Mom's cooking right now.
Copy !req
18. Oh, that's what
I was afraid of.
Copy !req
19. Hold me up so I can see
what mistake she's making.
Copy !req
20. Hi, Granny Jojo.
Copy !req
21. No, no,
that's all wrong.
Copy !req
22. You wanna slice those carrots,
not pulverize them.
Copy !req
23. That's not the only thing
I want to pulverize.
Copy !req
24. What did you say?
Copy !req
25. How do you turn the volume
up on this thing?
Copy !req
26. Whoa! Ugh. What am I...
Copy !req
27. What am I? A chicken nugget?
Copy !req
28. Oh, stupid technol—
Copy !req
29. - Richard, about tonight...
- Mmm?
Copy !req
30. Please.
Copy !req
31. Please don't forget
the... thing
Copy !req
32. we talked about earlier.
Copy !req
33. Right. Sure. Absolutely.
Copy !req
34. The thing. Uh...
Copy !req
35. Which thing exactly?
Copy !req
36. Richard Watterson...
Copy !req
37. do not mistake me for some
cheap domestic attendant,
Copy !req
38. and make me tell you
what the thing is again!
Copy !req
39. Uh... maybe just a little clue?
Copy !req
40. Ah, I remember. The thing.
Copy !req
41. Yeah. Uh... I'm on it.
Copy !req
42. Ugh. Thanks for helping me
try to remember
Copy !req
43. what the thing is, kids.
Copy !req
44. It was either that
or sacrifice one of you
Copy !req
45. to the demon king
of motherhood.
Copy !req
46. Eh, it's okay.
Copy !req
47. We know your memory
is worse than a goldfish
Copy !req
48. with short-term memory loss.
Copy !req
49. You got that right, pink one.
Copy !req
50. Okay. You came in
from the shed earlier,
Copy !req
51. so it must be
out here somewhere.
Copy !req
52. Is this panini press the thing?
Copy !req
53. Is this theremin the thing?
Copy !req
54. Is this taxidermied possum
the thing?
Copy !req
55. It was a spraying possum!
Copy !req
56. I don't know if any of those
are the thing.
Copy !req
57. Hmm. Why is there a half-eaten
hot dog inside this book?
Copy !req
58. Ooh. That's mine.
Copy !req
59. Sometimes you've got
to practice self-care
Copy !req
60. and only eat half a hot dog
so that your future self
Copy !req
61. can also enjoy half a hot dog
in a time of need.
Copy !req
62. Are you guys seeing this?
Copy !req
63. A middle-aged man
Copy !req
64. chopping a wiener
outside a shed?
Copy !req
65. Yeah, and it's not
as impressive
Copy !req
66. as you think it is, Dad.
Copy !req
67. No, it's like I'm watching
exactly what happened earlier
Copy !req
68. play out right in front of me.
Copy !req
69. Okay, I think
he's finally lost it.
Copy !req
70. No, I've read about this.
Copy !req
71. Some people have
photographic memories
Copy !req
72. that are triggered
by certain senses.
Copy !req
73. Like sound, smell,
or in Dad's case, taste.
Copy !req
74. - Hmm. Dad?
- Huh?
Copy !req
75. Eat the hot dog and watch
your memory carefully.
Copy !req
76. Maybe it'll show you
what the thing is.
Copy !req
77. Hmm.
Copy !req
78. Richard, I thought I told you
to clean out the shed.
Copy !req
79. Yeah, but you said
use elbow grease,
Copy !req
80. which made me think
of deep-fried elbows,
Copy !req
81. but you can't eat those,
so I got a hot dog instead.
Copy !req
82. No.
Copy !req
83. No. Ugh!
Copy !req
84. Richard, we're never gonna find
the fondue pot in this mess.
Copy !req
85. I hope your mother
Copy !req
86. likes a microwaved
brick of cheese.
Copy !req
87. We're never gonna find
the fondue pot in this mess.
Copy !req
88. We're never gonna find
the fondue pot in this mess.
Copy !req
89. find the fondue pot...
Copy !req
90. I think he figured out
how to get it to rewind.
Copy !req
91. Mmm... kind of wish he hadn't.
Copy !req
92. I hope your mother likes
a microwaved brick of cheese.
Copy !req
93. Ah! The fondue pot.
Copy !req
94. That's the thing.
Copy !req
95. Honey! Yee!
Copy !req
96. - Oh! Thanks, Richard.
- Mmm-hmm.
Copy !req
97. But what about the thing?
Copy !req
98. Oh, yeah,
I, uh, totally know
Copy !req
99. that wasn't the thing. Um...
Copy !req
100. I'll be right back.
Copy !req
101. The fondue pot
was not the thing.
Copy !req
102. Well, I guess it's time
to flee the country
Copy !req
103. and get reconstructive surgery
to escape Mom's wrath.
Copy !req
104. I was thinking
something like this.
Copy !req
105. No way. I was thinking
the same thing.
Copy !req
106. Twins!
Copy !req
107. Dad, she must have told you
Copy !req
108. what the thing is
at some point.
Copy !req
109. What other errands
did you run today?
Copy !req
110. - Uh...
- Okay.
Copy !req
111. What foods did you eat today?
Copy !req
112. Uh... Oh, that's easy.
Copy !req
113. I ate a small pepperoni pizza,
Copy !req
114. a vanilla cupcake
with pink frosting...
Copy !req
115. Mmm-hmm!
Copy !req
116. Oh, and butter.
Copy !req
117. Look at this beautiful vase.
Copy !req
118. 50% off. Whoop!
Copy !req
119. I guess your mother will
just have to hold her flowers.
Copy !req
120. A vase is the thing.
Copy !req
121. Thanks, Richard.
Copy !req
122. But don't forget
about the thing.
Copy !req
123. Sorry, ma'am, but no pecan pie
Copy !req
124. until your husband
exits the display case.
Copy !req
125. I'm not mentioning this
to your mother.
Copy !req
126. Pecan pie is the thing.
Copy !req
127. Oh, great. But, you know,
what about the thing?
Copy !req
128. I wanted beeswax candles,
not honey!
Copy !req
129. You know your mother's
allergic to it.
Copy !req
130. A beeswax candle.
Copy !req
131. Um, that's still not the thing.
Copy !req
132. No. No.
Copy !req
133. No.
Copy !req
134. No!
Copy !req
135. No!
Copy !req
136. Yes...
Copy !req
137. It's a no, isn't it?
Copy !req
138. Okay. It took some
light tomb raiding
Copy !req
139. and a few
international incidents,
Copy !req
140. but I present to you...
the thing!
Copy !req
141. Thanks, bud.
Copy !req
142. No! That's not the thing!
Copy !req
143. Ugh!
Copy !req
144. Good luck, Richard.
Copy !req
145. I'm sorry, honey.
Copy !req
146. Please don't be angry.
Copy !req
147. I'm not angry.
Copy !req
148. I'm just disappointed.
Copy !req
149. We must have missed something.
Copy !req
150. I don't know.
Copy !req
151. Dad has less memory
than a floppy disk,
Copy !req
152. and there isn't anywhere
else to look.
Copy !req
153. If only there was
some way that Mr. Dad
Copy !req
154. could try all the food
in one place.
Copy !req
155. I know a place!
Copy !req
156. A mysterious domain
Copy !req
157. where one can access
any foodstuff they desire.
Copy !req
158. From pizza to sushi
to canned meats!
Copy !req
159. And what is this faraway land
you speak of, Father?
Copy !req
160. Eh, I'm just going with it.
Copy !req
161. It's called...
Copy !req
162. "The Mouth Temple"!
Copy !req
163. Temple! Temple!
Copy !req
164. Uh, we actually
had to change the name
Copy !req
165. to Elmore Shopping.
Copy !req
166. Mouth Temple wasn't attracting
the right customer base.
Copy !req
167. It's Elmore Shopping!
Copy !req
168. I must combine
all the food I ate today
Copy !req
169. into a mega memory muck bank!
Copy !req
170. But it's too much flavor.
Copy !req
171. You'll get lost in the sauce.
Copy !req
172. Some things are worth the risk.
Copy !req
173. Richard, I thought I told you
to clean out the shed.
Copy !req
174. Look at this beautiful vase.
50% off...
Copy !req
175. I wanted beeswax candles,
not honey!
Copy !req
176. Children, it worked.
Copy !req
177. I can see all the memories
floating past me
Copy !req
178. like stars in a galaxy.
Copy !req
179. I guess we're changing
the name again.
Copy !req
180. Okay, what's the one secret
ingredient that I'm missing?
Copy !req
181. I hope your mother
Copy !req
182. likes a microwaved
brick of cheese.
Copy !req
183. I'm not mentioning this
to your mother.
Copy !req
184. Your mother... your mother...
Your mother...
Copy !req
185. I'm not mentioning
this to...
Copy !req
186. your mother likes
a microwaved brick of cheese.
Copy !req
187. I'm not mentioning this
to your mother.
Copy !req
188. your mother is
allergic to it.
Copy !req
189. I guess your mother will
just have to hold her flowers.
Copy !req
190. Your mother... your mother...
your mother... your mother...
Copy !req
191. your mother...
Copy !req
192. The fondue pot is the thing!
Copy !req
193. Uh, we did that one
already, Dad.
Copy !req
194. Oh, well, then, I'm pretty sure
my mother is the thing.
Copy !req
195. Oh!
Copy !req
196. Yeah, I forgot about her.
Copy !req
197. Oh, this is the worst
slot machine I've ever played.
Copy !req
198. - Grandma Jojo!
- There you are.
Copy !req
199. Richard, I've been standing
here forever.
Copy !req
200. You know it's no good
for my bunions
Copy !req
201. to be on my feet for this long.
Copy !req
202. But, Mom,
this chair's right there.
Copy !req
203. You know I don't trust
new technology.
Copy !req
204. Station closing.
Copy !req
205. Get out while you can.
Copy !req
206. Or be stuck here forever...
Copy !req
207. or until
we open again in the morning.
Copy !req
208. Kids, you grab the luggage,
I'll lug the baggage.
Copy !req
209. No!
Copy !req
210. Oh, no!
Copy !req
211. I didn't get the thing.
Copy !req
212. I failed you, Nicole.
Copy !req
213. My track record
as a perfect husband
Copy !req
214. and inspirational father
is ruined.
Copy !req
215. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
216. I must leave you
Copy !req
217. and face your mother's
wrath alone.
Copy !req
218. Oh, well, looks like
we're here for the night.
Copy !req
219. May as well get comfortable.
Copy !req
220. Ah, that's better.
Copy !req
221. Uh... hey, honey, I'm home.
Copy !req
222. Where's your mother?
Copy !req
223. Eh... uh...
Copy !req
224. Uh, trapped in a bus station.
Copy !req
225. And where
are the kids?
Copy !req
226. Um... also trapped
in a bus station.
Copy !req
227. Oh, Richard,
you remembered the thing.
Copy !req
228. Muah!
Copy !req
229. Why does dinner
with your mother
Copy !req
230. have to be so stressful?
Copy !req
231. What if I find a way
to get her and the kids
Copy !req
232. out of our hair,
and we have dinner,
Copy !req
233. just you and me?
Copy !req
234. Ah, that sounds like
just the thing
Copy !req
235. I need right now.
Copy !req
236. Thanks, honey. Muah.
Copy !req
237. That was the thing.
Copy !req
238. Oh, I knew you'd
remember... to forget...
Copy !req
239. to remember...
Copy !req
240. to forget again...
Copy !req
241. Oh, anyway, close your eyes,
come with me.
Copy !req
242. Nicole. It's beautiful.
Copy !req
243. Oh, and you got
the fondue pot in there.
Copy !req
244. It turns out that thing
actually came in useful.
Copy !req
245. - Here, take a seat.
- Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
246. Don't mind
if I fondue.
Copy !req
247. Now, which one
of you kids is gonna come
Copy !req
248. grease Granny's feet?
Copy !req
249. Wait, was that the kids?
Copy !req
250. Uh, it was just a bunch
of chicken-nugget people.
Copy !req
251. Now let's eat.
Copy !req
